libfdt: More consistent handling of returned error codes.
At present, libfdt functions returning a structure offset return a
zero-or-positive offset on success, and return a negative error code
on failure. Functions which only return an error code return a
positive version of the error code, or 0 on success.
This patch improves consistency by always returning negative error
codes on failure, for both types of function. With this change, we do
away with the special fdt_offset_error() macro for checking whether a
returned offset value is an error and extracting the encoded error
value within. Instead an explicit (ret_value < 0) is now the
preferred way of checking return values for both offset-returning and
error-code-returning functions.
The fdt_strerror() function in the test code is updated
correspondingly to make more sense with the new conventions.
